Description Fathi Boudra 2006-05-18 22:06:33 UTC

Version:           0.8.1 (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

this is a forwarded bug:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=361852

I can set the xine audio driver to arts, but as soon as some sound is
played, kaffeine crashes on 3 elsewhere Etch boxes on 3 tested. This
happens on a freshly installed box, and as root (this is to highlight
differences with some information reported in closed #328788). On at
least one of the affected machines, amarok and gxine are able to play
simultaneously using xine/arts.

The backtrace attached was obtained with libc6-dbg, kdelibs-dbg and
kaffeine-dbg installed. I don't know how to get all needed packages, so
feel free to tell me some I missed if you think there's a way to get a
more complete backtrace. On the other hand, this reproduces easily
enough that you should be able to do it yourself. This is one factor
considered when setting the severity. The other is that I'd assume
xine/arts to be the default driver (auto pointing to it, but it's not
the case for now as auto works). alsa and oss both work.

I have the exact same problem. Amarok uses arts just fine, but as soon as I try to use kaffeine to play anything using arts it segfaults. Selecting oss as output device and "killall artsd" works but is of course no real solution.

(KDE 3.5.2 on Ubuntu breezy / amd64)

Comment 3 Andreas Nyback 2006-11-11 02:03:26 UTC

Me too.
AMD64 Gentoo
# kaffeine -v
Qt: 3.3.6
KDE: 3.5.2
Kaffeine Player: 0.8.2

(arts with 48khz frequency locked using oss is the only thing that works on nforce4 spdif so without arts, i have no sound at all...)

Comment 4 Willy Gommel 2006-12-04 00:55:33 UTC

I am running kaffeine 0.8.2 on my new home-built AMD64 machine under Debian Etch. Unfortunately, every time I press the #1 button (PLAY PLAYLIST), kaffeine crashes with a signal 11 (SIGSEGV) message. The crash handler tells me that no backtrace is possible.

Comment 5 Krzysztof Dubowik 2006-12-06 00:30:56 UTC

Same happens to me on FC6:
Qt: 3.3.7
KDE: 3.5.5-0.2.fc6 Fedora-Core
Kaffeine Player: 0.8.3

Comment 7 FiNeX 2008-11-19 23:52:13 UTC

Arts is no longer developed and has been unmaintained for quite some time -
more than 2 years. With phonon as the replacement for arts in KDE4, we're
closing out all the arts bugs in Bugzilla since there is no chance of them
being fixed.

Thanks
